If I asked you to pick one word to describe your life what would it be? Satisfied? Complete? Chaotic? Stressed? A little bit of all of these words? Or do you don’t know how to describe life right now? I’ll be honest for far too long I would have used a word on the negative side. There have been so many ‘life moments’ going on that I have felt totally confused and have felt like I’ve been living a completely chaotic existence. I use the word ‘living’ very loosely and at times it has felt as if I have been… View Post

I honestly believe at many points in our lives we all need some extra motivation and inspiration in our lives to encourage us to continue living the best life we can. Personally, I find motivational quotes to be so inspiring when I am lacking motivation to keep on moving forwards, Here are a few motivational quotes I find useful when I am struggling to see where my priorities should lie: Big thinking precedes great achievement; It’s all about planning how you reach your goals.

But would you really be doing more by not taking a break? Think of how fast each day goes by, from the moment you wake until you fall in to bed at silly o’clock totally exhausted.

Hello. I’m Candace, a 40 something lifestyle blogger. This blog is my little space on the web where I write all about the things in my life that give me inspiration, happiness and hope whilst I search for happiness and contentment after the worst year ever.

Over the past 2 years I have realised that it’s ok to step back and say no. It’s ok to take some time each day and do something positive just for yourself.

If you are one of those people that supports others, you gives and never take and are beyond exhausted because you always put your own needs last, then join me on my journey of self care and wellness. Together we can take self care actions and strengthen our self belief and confidence.
